How To Create Your Wedding Guest ListYour next task would be choosing the guest. How do you decide who to
invite? How do you narrow down your guest list? Your budget ultimately
determines who you will or will not invite. Still it is good to gather
your list together first.

The first to add to your wedding guest list
are the immediate family.

Next are family members such as
Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins who are truly a part of your
life.

Next are those who are like family to you.
When listing close friends remember to include their spouses.

Now consider all those left who share your life, bring you happiness, and
will continue to do so beyond this one day. These include close
neighbors, coworkers who have been supportive and important aid to your
livelihood.
After estimating your total consider if it would be reasonable to add
other possible invitees to your guest list. If it seems reasonable and
feasible it's time to go back to the past and think of those who made a
positive impact on your life for the good. These may include mentors such
as teacher and coaches. Also those who may have saved your life in one way
or another such as doctors and counselors. You'll also want to add
business relations who still keep in touch.

It seems that most have one or two friends or family members who are
likely to do or say something that will cause an embarrassing situation.
Those who are likely to create a scene are usually not overlooked when
preparing the guest list, they just aren't invited. Still if you have a
strong emotional attachment to this person it is understandable if you
find it difficult to bar them from your wedding.

Ask
yourself: What is the nature and cause of the strained
relationship? Who are all involved? Is the person getting the help needed?
What progress have they made? Can the tension be relieved, the distance be
bridged and the wounds healed between the two of you before the wedding?
If so why not start trying now. Delegate the task to a family member who
has proved an experienced and successful mediator. Do not try to take on
the task alone. You'll need someone to keep you from being distracted from
wedding planning and preparations. Once good relations are established before
the wedding you'll likely want them to attend.

Once your guest list is complete now it's time to consider who you
can afford to invite. If there is a need to cut folks out start from the
end of the list and work your way up. Your next step is to start Planning Wedding
